6 years ago These tests define a shape trait that does not appear in the docs and isn't implemented in rakudo.
IMO that can be removed.
Creating an Array with a Range is doable as well.
There are no errors as the test expects, but does it make sense to accept those values as shapes? I was expecting them to get coerced to Ints, but looks like they remain as Range objects. And you can even use a Seq with arbitrary elements as a dimension without getting any errors.
I think that should not be behaving that way and perhaps should throw, as the test expects it to.
m: my @multidim[0..3; 0..1]; dd @multidim rakudo-moar 9acbf0004: OUTPUT: «Array element = Array.new(:shape(0..3, 0..1), [Any, Any], [Any, Any], [Any, Any], [Any, Any])» m: my @multidim[0, 3...27; 0..1]; dd @multidim rakudo-moar 9acbf0004: OUTPUT: «Array element = Array.new(:shape((0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27).Seq, 0..1), [Any, Any], [Any, Any], [Any, Any], [Any, Any], [Any, Any], [Any, Any], [Any, Any], [Any, Any], [Any, Any], [Any, Any])»

Do these still have any relevance?
